Very Entertaining sample story!

This is one of the short-stories from the "Woodcliff Anthology." (Which I believe it is only available from Amazon Kindle). It is a cheap and very entertaining way to sample the stories in the book. The story is about Jewel, a girl of about 12 years of age, who lives somewhere in the back woods with a despicable, alcoholic father. The entire story is told from her perspective and you really get a sense of her loneliness, but also her strength in putting up with her father (and her life, such as it is). I really enjoyed the story; but there isn't much I can say without giving away what happens and that would ruin the story for everyone. I've read other books by this author and he is becoming one of my favorites. Read this little story and you'll see why. ( )
